Holidaymakers flying from one of Britain's busiest airports should watch out for 'meet and greet' parking scams this summer, police say. Sussex Police has warned that some "rogue" companies are targeting people at Gatwick Airport.
Sussex Police said: "While most companies are reputable and offer a good service as advertised, Sussex Police and West Sussex Trading Standards continue to receive regular reports of customers who are disappointed with the service offered. In previous years some customers have reported damage to vehicles, including with vehicles being returned dirty or with more mileage on the clock.
"Motorists should also remember that not all companies listed are affiliated to London Gatwick, even if the business includes ‘Gatwick Airport’ in its name or if their website looks like it is linked to the airport." And Oli Bedford, head of parking at London Gatwick, said: "We have no relationship with these rogue ‘meet and greet’ parking companies, even though many of them have ‘Gatwick’ in their company name. Legally rogue firms can operate on the airport as long as they do not break our by-laws.
